Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #130





Hi, everyone !!



For the second week in a row, I've found myself to be "time poor" when compiling my 'Weekly RoundUp', so I'll expand a bit more on what's included here over the course of the next few days. As is the norm, when pushed for time in this way, I have (at least) managed to compile a list of all the new channels which have been added during the past seven days. I've included as much detail (i.e. links to channel descriptions and 'Roku Guide' reviews) as I could in the time available but I will be expanding on the information for some of the channels as and where I feel it is needed over the course of the next week. So be sure to check back later for additional insight on these latest additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store which have brought the total number of "public" channels to 1,952 in UK - meaning it won't be much longer before we pass the 2,000 channel marker on Roku UK devices! :-)


Anyway, before I proceed with listing the current crop of new channels (plus providing links to their associated reviews) for this particular 'Weekly RoundUp'... a brief reminder that, whilst I had hoped I'd be able to catch-up on the missing Roku-related news from this blog in recent weeks, all the extra work I've been burdened with of late means it remains unlikely that I'll be fully caught-up anytime soon. Until I do find the time... my one saving grace is that (as mentioned previously) I have somehow managed to remain up-to-date with all the latest additions to the "New" category of the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store and will endeavour to flesh-out what's missing ASAP! Admittedly, there are quite a few articles that I need to catch up on but, rather than post links for individual weeks, I'll simply refer you back to my "Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #78", which contains all of the pertinent information you might need when researching back over the items in question. Again, I'm sorry this has dragged-on (far) longer than anticipated, and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you, but (all being well) things will be back up to speed soon!


As mentioned earlier... all I can offer you for now is a summary of the latest additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store from the past week. As with my other recent posts, you can expect any additional Roku-related news from the last seven days, along with details of any changes to the channel selection found on NowTV Boxes, to be added at some point in the near future. As for "mending" all of the "broken" links from previous 'Weekly RoundUp' posts, I still can't put a time-scale on how long that is going to take but (like I said before) if you "copy" the existing link(s) and change the "http" prefix to "https", as well as removing the "forward slash" between 'channels' and '#!details', so that "channels#/!details" becomes "channels#!details" in each weblink, you should find that they will all work for you and redirect to the new-look version of each individual channel description. As with the last forty-three 'Weekly RoundUp' posts, every link from this week (plus all future posts) will use the new format, so it's only those from 'Weekly RoundUp #1' up as far as 'Weekly RoundUp #86' which you'll have to amend... at least, until I can edit/repair the links for you !!


Still, with all the "missing" Roku-related news (and links) yet to follow, let's now press on with the current 'Weekly RoundUp' of NEW ADDITIONS to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store. This time there are TWENTY-SEVEN NEW CHANNELS which have been added during the preceding seven day period. These latest additions provided FRESH CONTENT in the Movies & TV, Apps, Educational, Fitness, Kids & Family, Music, Religious, Special Interest, Sports and Travel categories. Specifically... this means there have been no less than SIX EXTRA CHANNELS added to the "Religious" genre, plus FIVE EXTRA CHANNELS in the "Travel" category, as well as another FOUR EXTRA CHANNELS under "Movies & TV" and THREE EXTRA CHANNELS for both the "Music" and "Fitness" genres. Add to that TWO EXTRA CHANNELS in the "Kids & Family" genre and ONE EXTRA CHANNEL in each of the "Apps", "Educational", "Special Interest", plus "Sports" categories, and you'll see there's an incredibly varied selection of new channel choices which have been introduced to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during this past week. 


In keeping with previous installments from the 'Weekly RoundUp' series, details of these new channels have been listed below, together with links to obtain further information {by clicking on the channel name(s) beneath the respective channel icon(s) as pictured} and to read a 'Roku Guide' review (where available) with an independent (slightly more expansive) assessment of each one:-

*********************************************



Anyhow, like it or not, that is your lot for this week and, whilst it only amounts to three quarters of the thirty-five channels which made it into the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store during the same time-frame, it's better to have a choice of 27 NEW CHANNELS than none at all, don't you think?!


Meanwhile... hopefully everyone in the UK with a Roku player managed to find something they like within the twenty-seven "public" channels outlined above... or else from the "private" channels, whose access codes were "gifted" to you via the companion Twitter Feed to this blog, at various points throughout the last seven days. Even so, if you didn't find anything to add to your Roku channel selection from the assortment of channels on offer this week, you'll just have to pay us a visit another time when, with any luck, there will be something more to your liking. Afterall, there's no point installing every channel because like I say... when it comes to adding more new channels to your Roku, IT'S YOUR CHOICE and, as with all things Roku... THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS !!




*********************************************



As mentioned earlier in this post, you can expect my usual summary of all the goings-on (or not) in the (severely restricted) Roku Channel Store that features on NowTV Boxes to follow in the near future. Meanwhile, whether you happen to own a Roku player, a NowTV Box, OR BOTH, as I do... be sure to check my previous posts (as mentioned above) for all the new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store in each of the fifty-seven preceding weeks and then come back again in seven days' time for my next 'Weekly RoundUp'. However, if you can't wait that long, remember you can always keep up with all the UK Roku action (as it happens) throughout the coming week, by following the companion Twitter Feed: @ukrokuchannels where up-to-the-minute info on all things Roku-related (here in the UK) is posted on a daily basis (well, almost).



Until the next time, then...



That's all folks !!
